Recall of SunKids Convertible Cribs (US)
Around 1,900 SunKids Convertible Cribs are being recalled. The problem with the cribs is that the mesh sides expand, forming a gap between the crib’s mattress and the side if it is not zipped into place – or forming a gap between the side and an added mattress. There is the danger that a child could slip into this gap and suffocate or become trapped.
Another hazard with this product is that drop side may not fully latch – which, of course, poses a fall hazard.
The product involved is the SunKids convertible crib/playpen/bassinet/bed with model number PY256. “SunKids” is embroidered on the bottom left of the crib’s drop side. The cribs have a drop side rail, stationary side rail, canopy assembly, and bassinet. The crib sides are made of mesh and fabric. The mattress support, bassinet, canopy, and bed skirt are covered in fabric. The fabric and the mesh were sold in navy blue, light blue, pink, beige, white, beige checker, and pink heart.
These cribs were sold for around $100 from January 2007 through October 2008 at small juvenile product retailers in N.Y., N. J., and Calif.
If you have one of these cribs, please stop using it immediately and return it to the store you bought it from for a full refund.
If you have any questions, please contact Suntech Enterprises toll-free at (888) 268-8139 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday.
